Description

Drop in a .mp4 or .mov screen recording, pick an iPhone frame, add a few zoom moments on the timeline, and export a clean clip for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, product demos, or in-app tutorials. Maya keeps the workflow simple: frame the recording, tweak the motion, hit export. You can render a regular H.264 .mp4 for social platforms or export a transparent HEVC .mov with alpha for overlays inside apps, presentations, or video editors.

The app runs natively on macOS. It ships with iPhone 17, 16, and 15 Pro frames, background presets, animation curves, timeline editing, and one-click zoom presets that make raw screen recordings feel a lot less raw.

Use Cases

  • Create iPhone app demo videos
  • Make TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts from screen recordings
  • Produce cinematic product showcase clips
  • Export transparent overlays for app tutorials
  • Create onboarding walkthrough videos for mobile apps

There are already plenty of screen recording tools that do the job but Maya is for those who wants a dedicated and straightforward app to create iPhone Screen Recording Videos.

It takes the boring raw capture and makes it presentable enough to ship publicly without dragging you into a heavyweight editing workflow. That’s the appeal.

Atomic Chat: Run Open-Weight LLMs Locally on Windows, macOS & Linux

0
Want to run an AI model locally, but still use it with the tools you already have? Atomic Chat makes that possible. It lets you run open-weight LLMs from Hugging Face on your own computer, then exposes them through an OpenAI-compatible API so coding agents, CLIs, IDE plugins and other apps can use your local models too. You can run models such as Llama, Gemma, Qwen, Mistral and Phi, use Atomic Chat as a regular AI chat app, or connect it to tools such as OpenCode, Goose and Kilo Code. Your local conversations and API keys can stay on your machine, while cloud providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral and Groq are available when you need them. Under the hood, it also supports multiple inference engines and performance features such as speculative decoding, Flash Attention and TurboQuant on supported models and hardware. So you're getting more than a local chatbot. Atomic Chat can act as the local AI layer behind the rest of your setup.
